trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry
I’ve seen people online argue that going the posted speed limit in the passing lane is ACTUALLY illegal. They argue the passing lane effectively has no speed limit. You can go however fast you need to go to pass!

People just saying’ shit these days. No connection to objective reality necessary, apparently.

All of these proposals (other than maybe #6) are wrong headed. A ban on anonymous user names only benefits the powerful who can use real world tools (threats of job loss, harassment by lunatics, swatting, etc) to quiet troublemakers.
Duncan Weldon@duncanweldon.bsky.social · 2mo agoI remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Thousands of people here telling you to “shut the fuck up.” How is that not friction? Or does the “friction” you yearn for need to be instigated by right wingers?
Corey Atad@coreyatad.com · 2mo agofrom what i see, most here don't want the friction that produces the roiling, exciting conversations we used to get on Twitter. that's fine. Facebook was nice, too, when it was just posting photos for friends and the occasional convo in the comments. but then the contrasts become more apparent.
Imagine saying this shit then turning off replies immediately, lol.
Corey Atad@coreyatad.com · 2mo agoi think, end of the day, the real problem with Bluesky is that most of its users are here *because* they want to be in a bubble. and they can tell themselves that it’s just about not being around Nazis it supporting Musk, and that’s part of it, but also there’s a palpable desire to be ensconced.
Fords Theatre completes mostly successful performance of Our American Cousin.
its just bizarre to me to say that bluesky is a siloed off bubble detached from real debate when everyone over here hates the president with a 30% approval and everyone over there thinks things are going so well that we have entered a 1000 year conservative reign
Immediate unconditional surrender. Demoralizing for everyone that fought so hard for this. This person must never hold public office again.

I respect how Popeye sidestepped the whole Wimpy conundrum by not offering Hamburgers at his restaurants.

To tell an obvious lie without consequence is more menacing than a subtle lie would be, because an obvious lie demonstrates domination more perfectly, so the more obvious the lie, the more virtuous a fascist finds it.
